Overview & Highlights

Nestled in the vibrant neighborhood of Corso Trieste, Trattoria Da Ettore Srl serves as an authentic Roman culinary gem that transports diners into the heart of Italy’s rich gastronomic tradition. This family-run restaurant has garnered praise for its exceptional, honest approach to classic Roman cuisine, emphasizing simplicity paired with impeccable quality.

At Da Ettore, the menu may be unassuming, but each dish bursts with undeniable freshness and flavor. The freshly made pasta is a standout, offering a tender, silky texture that perfectly absorbs the rich, slow-cooked sauces so characteristic of Roman cooking. Whether you savor a veal main or pair your meal with a carefully selected carafe of local wine, every bite reflects a deep respect for traditional ingredients and preparation methods. The restaurant’s atmosphere mirrors the warmth of its food: cozy, welcoming, and filled with the palpable charm of a close-knit family establishment.

Patrons repeatedly highlight the genuine hospitality and friendly service, noting the slight language barrier for non-Italian speakers as a small hurdle easily overshadowed by the quality of the experience. Longtime visitors return time and again, drawn by the flawless balance of simplicity and richness that Trattoria Da Ettore uniquely achieves.

Finding this hidden treasure requires a keen eye, but once inside, the homely ambiance and authentic Roman flavors make it well worth the effort. It’s an ideal spot for anyone seeking a true taste of Rome away from more tourist-heavy locales — a place where tradition is lovingly preserved, and every meal feels like a heartfelt invitation to experience Italian cuisine in its most honest form.

Very nice family run restaurant. Excellent food. A little bit of english language.

Great food, friendly service. But for the non-English speaking be warned you'll be a little challenged. But I still reccomend this place and when I'm back in town I wouldn't hesitate to return.

Impeccably cooked simple food: tgis place is a true delight. I have been coming regularly for several years and Da Ettore never disappoints if simplicity and high quality honest food for a good price is what you are seeking.

Lovely local restaurant, with very fresh food. A carafe of wine, freshly made pasta and veal main dishes were all just what we were looking for. A taste of Rome. It is not easy to find and you need to observe carefully, but once inside it feels very warm and homely. Will definitely return!
